Pros
"It provides the flexibility of being used on any device which makes the employee experience better, in terms of ease of use.""It is user-friendly and easy to use.""We can provide tons of applications with different settings, behaviors, and operating systems.

Then, we are totally transparent for the user to use a lot of totally different applications, which is the most important part of Citrix today.""Stable product with straightforward setup.""The most valuable feature of Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops is the security and it is easy to work with.""The architecture I built had a robust failover mechanism for the endpoints, and the interface was user-friendly.""The solution provides everything in one integrated platform. When it comes to monitoring their solution, it is really easy. We have all the information in one place so we can have the right information at the right moment. We can be proactive when it comes to dealing with performance, maintenance, and security issues.""You can connect to any printer, and from anywhere you can print documents using a compressed channel. It is easy and the bandwidth is very low."

"The solution has a lot of features. It does what it is made to do and that's all we can ask for, really.""We like drawing utilities inside ISL.

It provides a single platform on which we can do everything, and it's very low maintenance. After installation, you don't need an IT manager or staff to watch over it. It's secure.

Cons
"I think improvement around the Analytics piece is super important. There has been a lot of maturity over the last year in that area, though a lot more needs to be done. Also, a lot more of the value of those Analytics needs to be sold to end users. Citrix is working on a lot of things that are ahead of the curve and a lot of organizations aren't quite there yet with implementing those technologies and capabilities.""Templating the deployment process could use improvement. When you start, there are a large number of details that are quite client-specific, although they do share common themes. To get somebody up and running in a day is very difficult to do. They should streamline by use case.""Our experience of Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops is good, but the environment can become complex and difficult to manage at times.""The speed and connectivity of Citrix DaaS could be improved.""Pricing and technical support needs improvement.""We have had issues with certain aspects, which is why we are looking for alternatives. For example, the firewall solution from Citrix is a bit complicated. Integration is hard.""As an end-to-end solution for implementing Zero Trust principles I would rate it a six or a seven out of 10, because it doesn't cover all aspects of Zero Trust. There are quite a few aspects you need to cover.""The video conferencing feature needs to be improved."

"They need to better advertise the features.""I would like to be able to access and manage all brands of smartphones.""I would like to have a little bit more information when new features are released. They have added features that I didn't know about in the past. It would be easier for me to implement new features and consolidate them with other systems in our network if I knew beforehand.""If there is an update or new feature on ISL Online, I don't know about it. I would be happy to receive a newsletter or notification of new features or updates.""There could be a section in the menu describing the new features and changes.""It would be helpful if they had iSupport for supporting Apple phones.""They should improve the integrations with other incident management software to be able to send the link directly from these platforms.""There have been times during updates when something wouldn't work quite right, however, they are quick with updates and quick with fixes."
